Ontario motorists may soon see some savings, as the provincial government proposes a permanent gas tax reduction and the elimination of tolls on the public portions of Highway 407 in its budget this week.
Premier Doug Ford announced his intention to make the gas tax reduction permanent during a press conference on May 13, saying his administration is proposing legislation in the 2025 budget that, if approved, would result in an annual savings of $115 for the average household.
